If You hayn't faith in your own
town or city, how can ron expect
others to have? Nothing disgxsts
a stranger with a town so Quick as
to hear its citizens speaking i'll of
it. They Immediately commence
to see all the bad features of it and
ignot all the good ones. Alwaw
act and speak toward the traYs
cling public with. regard to your
town so that teywill receive q
good impression OF both the town
and its inhabitance.
"a young gentleman arrived at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Well Sunday evening. On his ar
rival Charley rushed out, slid down
the bannister, followed dad in the
rain barrel, tried to coax all the
bird dogs in town to follow him,
wanted to buy, borrow or trade for
a shot gun, danced a double shuttle
on the sidewalk as people we're pas
sing to church, and on being asked
what he meant by such conduct
shouted that its a ten pound boy.
Mother and child doing well. and
1t IS thought that Charley viii come
out all right in the spring, especially
il the little one has the croup or
whooping cough this winter.
Every voter In the county
should make an effort to 90 to tho
polls on Nov. s, and cast his ballot
for division While congress may
not admit Dakota this winter, o
full vote on division will silence
the Reuse that Dakota is unable to
decide for herself whether she wish
es to be admitted as a whole or as
two states. If this was a democrat
ic territory it would be admitted as
two states without a doubt, but be-
ing republican congress is unable to
determine whether the people wish
n or two states. 1t now devolyes
upon our citizens to turn out aud
demonstrate beyond all possible
question that Dakota must be diyi-
ded and admitted.
What a strange, restless, ua-
reasonable, ~evanescent ay-up-the-
creek man is. No other being that
breathes the breath OF life can ever
hope to equal him in doing things
which he afterwards bitterly regrets,
admitting always, however, that
his wife got him into ID. No other
anthripoid, pachyderm, or mnllusk
can ever hope to compete with high
browed, thinking man, is making .

then coming right out frankly and
admitting that his wife is to blame
for it. No other male mammal,
when it pounds its thumb with q
tack-hammer, turns and throws the
hammer at the female of its species.

August Arndt, who lives near
WaubaY, left for parts unknown
Thursday night of last week. He
also left bis essditors who are max
ing anxious inquiry as tnssis+ fnan-
ces. Mrs. Arndt is still there bat
says she knows nothing of her hus-
bands whereabouts, and that he
had no money when he left. A
strict investigation reveals the
rather humiliating fact that he has
left o behind. Having obtained
credit wherever possible in this
vicinity and now that his creditors
expect their pay he has gone to
seek other fields, believing in the
old adgage "a change of pasture
makes fat calves" OF course the
REPORTER got stuck, just our luck
IF some fellow will do justic to
the case we will thank him.
"A vacancy existing in the Office
of United States Marshal for the
eastern district of Missouri, Justice
Miller, of the Supreme Court, ap-
polated Miss Phoebe w. Couzins to
the position. She was deputy under
her father, whose death created the
vacancy, and is said to have shown
superior capabilities for the duties,
which she successfully carried on
during her fathers illness. But
the reason for the daring innovation
of appointing a woman to such a
position is the fact that tees to d
large amount will be due the Mar
shal's office from the election of
fraud cases not yet disposed of, and
which Miss Couzins would lose
were another person appointed.
Her father and herself having per-
formed the duties thus far, It was
simple justice that she he allowed
to complete it and get the reward.
The lady is widely known, and none
will regret that she has boon thus
recognized.---Ex.
